Howard Lewis Webb was born on January 10, 1933 in Tiger, GA to John and Effie Webb. He grew up in the Mountain area of North Georgia and North Carolina. He lived a simple life with his brothers and sisters, he was one of eight; four brothers (Eschol, Mack, Roland, and Johnny) and three sisters (Elnora, Evelyn, and Tori). Howard always had a knack for quick learning and a mind for numbers and engineering. Howard graduated in 1950 and soon began his working career. Howard met his beloved wife, Peggy Ann Goza, while working together and it was love at first sight. They married on September 9, 1952.
Howard served in the Navy from 1952-1955 while being stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He served throughout the Pacific during his years of Active Duty. During this time, Howard and Peggy had their first son, Randy. Shortly after his tenure in the Navy and moving back to the State of Georgia, they had their second son, Stan.
Howard spent his time in Georgia working for Georgia Power and Mark C. Pope Associates. He served his church loyally and was ordained a Deacon at First Baptist of Atlanta in 1986. Howard retired from working but remained active at FBA serving in many roles. He lived his life full of love for family and Jesus. He was a beacon of light and joy for all that he encountered throughout his life. His joy, humor, and godliness were the cornerstone and foundation for his family. As he always stated, "I am truly blessed".
Howard passed away on Thursday, April 20, 2023 surrounded by his two sons and two grandsons in Weeki Wachee, FL.

A life well lived!! I met Peggy and Howard at First Baptist Church in 1988. As a new Christian, they came alongside and we became close. Howard encouraged me in areas of ministry, and my fondest memories of him are when I ushered the Atlanta Passion Play for several years under his leadership. He was a great leader, a Godly man, and a wonderful husband to Peggy. They invited us to their home and I remember Howard making my mom and I the best grilled cheese we ever tasted. We lunched often together after church and enjoyed every minute. Now he is rejoicing with the Lord, and has left his mantle behind for his children, grands and great grands!

So sad to hear of Mr. Howards passing...He will be missed. We know He is rejoicing in Heaven. Mr. Howard and Ms. Peggy were such a blessing to my son and I at FBA. A joy to serve with them at the passion play and other events at FBA.. it's a Blessing and Honor to know them. May you feel God's loving arms holding you close to HIS Heart as you grieve. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Love, Chanel Williams

Howard and Peggy were instrumental in encouraging us in our journey to becoming Christians. Howard invited us to come to the Passion Play by AFB that they produced every spring and gave us free tickets for our first show. We loved it and came back every year afterward until they stopped producing it. It was such a meaningful part of our lives - seeing Jesus "live" on the stage helped us grasp the magnitude of his sacrifice for us.

Howard was a great influence on my life and all the employees at Mark C Pope Associates. He built the service department and made it the best in the business. He did this while always being true a believer and a great example to everyone.

Howard was a dear friend. We would do lunch or brunch two or three times a year and I would visit with him each Sunday at FBA. Met him at the Widow Widowers luncheon two months after my husband died suddenly. I began to cry and he got up from the table put his arms around me and cried, too. He had been a widower two years at that time and he always said he had a 57 (?) year honeymoon and I believe him. Such a wonderful man! Will miss him greatly! Connie Duis
